ANIMS: why?
“Improving the efficiency and safety of ATM user interfaces with visual
animations and sound”
More efficient interfaces through better– communication from machine to user– communication between users

ANIMS: Phase 1
• Year 2004
• State of the art – Animation: definitions, models, techniques, typical uses,
human factors
– Sound: definition, typical uses, human factors
• Five ATC scenarios and five corresponding demonstrations

ANIMS Phase1 conclusions
• Animations and sound are powerful– Several applications to improve situation
awareness
• New design spaces: – Many possible animations types – ATC relevant sounds
• Storyboards for prototyping and describing animation and sound
![Page 8: CARE-INO ANIMS: Animation and Sound in ATC Human Machine Interfaces](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56815864550346895dc5c2f9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
8 CARE-INO Workshop 6th Dec 2005
Open questions...
• Benefits are intuitive, not proven
• From storyboards to specifications?
• Implementation, architecture, retrofit?
• Better understanding of sound design needed– Design dimensions– Design elements and context
• Reusable designs patterns for animations in ATC?
![Page 9: CARE-INO ANIMS: Animation and Sound in ATC Human Machine Interfaces](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56815864550346895dc5c2f9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
9 CARE-INO Workshop 6th Dec 2005
Stakes for Phase 2

– Recreate any ATC room atmosphere
– Simulate unexpected situations
• Animation:
– Assess benefits of animation on single user and group performance
– Role of animations in direct manipulation
